i'm joy reid in for melissa harris-perry. a leader for the world's 1.2 billion catholics was chose in a confidential vote witnessed by none but the 77 men who decided who among them would be the vigor of god. we only knew the outcome when we saw the white smoke billowing from the chimney place atop the chapel after 2:00 p.m. eastern time on wednesday. after only a two day conclave and just in time for easter, a new pope had been chosen. soon after we knew his name or names. now pope francis. a 76-year-old from argentina, and the o crowd went wild. pope francis is historic. like more than 40 pk of the world's catholics, he's from latin america, specifically argentina, making him the first in a millennium not to be born in europe. but despite that no other known entity, especially one this large chooses its leaders like this, the decision of who will be pope is intensely political. pope john paul ii, elected in 1978, continuously took his message on the road. and he took his political positions to the biggest issues of the day.
